thanks it helped me
Ever since I have flashed 2.3.3 I've been having problems.
-Download mode can only be accessed from adb reboot download
-The only way I got drivers to recognize in download mode was to install them from Samsung Kies mini.
-No button combination works to get into download mode, it takes you to recovery mode every time.
-My four touch button lights will not shut off after turning phone off and vibration confirming shut down.
Once I finally got it back to 2.1 stock via Odin one-click, I used Kies mini to upgrade to 2.2. I still have these same problems, all which started happening after I upgraded to the 2.3.3 SamFirmware leak. Not only have I been reading these problems from this leak but from other roms using 2.3.3.
To clarify, I am not blaming anyone, I am simply looking for a fix or to be told that I have done something wrong. Anything will be appreciated, thanks.

I have tried the 3-buttom combo - volume - and + along with the power. release power when att boot logo comes up. I've even tried to hold power down and let it cycle through the boot logo a couple times before releasing it. No luck, only recovery mode.
remove battery, sim, sd card. hold both volume - and +. put in battery and Usb cable as soon as battery is in. no luck, only recovery mode.
I've even tried the i9000's download mode. I think its volume down and power...only recovery mode.
The only way I was able to get into download mode was adb reboot download. I haven't tried a jig.

I got the same issue. The worse thing for me is I cannot get it back to 2.1 stock via Odin one-click because the driver can't recognize the device any more (It works fine before flashing to GB). How do you get it back to 2.1 stock?

I downloaded kies mini from the samsung site. Once installed, you can find an option to install the phones drivers when the phone is recognized by kies. Odin registered my phone in download mode after that and I was able to one-click back to stock.

I am going to try that.
I had this problem when going to a 2.3.3 rom before, sometimes it just needs a little and some tender loving repeatable connects, other times maybe just to be left alone for a day or two... I'm not sure if this will work but if you can get a com port from Odin 1 click without having to be in download mode I.e. the phone is on, try a master clear, let the phone boot up and see if you were able to get a com port again(leave it connected during boot), then do various methods to get in download mode starting with the GB method
Hope any of this helps at all

You're right. It should, but if the 2.3.3 ROM is effecting everyone the same way. NO BUTTON COMBOS WORK. That's just it. You can name it, and I've tried it. It does not work. Only thing that does work is adb reboot download. I have not tried a jig, but why bother if the phone boots.

I too am having the same problem with 2.3.3 i897UCKF1 boot loaders. I can't get into download mode or recovery. Hopefully a jig will work
Could it be Rom/Kernel issue? Im on i897UCKF1 Boot loaders with Cog 5 B3 and works fine for me. I have that issue before though the phone just didn't want to go in to down load mode for me, but it was with froyo.

Download Android Terminal Emulator from market. Once it's installed, open it, and type su. This should have the app ask for root rights. Once you allow it, type reboot download and press the enter button on the virtual keyboard. if the phone just goes black and doesnt reboot after a short while, just battery pull and turn it back on. You can also use this method to get into recovery by substituting reboot download with reboot recovery.

Sorry for being cryptic on my initial post, this is what I'm dealing with. I can't get the phone out of phone---!---computer screen and I've tried all the button combinations.
here's what I did. I was in stock enclair and copied continuum 6.1 to the sd card. I then get into download mode to flash 2.3.3 boot loaders. That was successful so I booted back into download mode to flash the talon kernel. I changed the zip to a tar so Odin 1.83 can recognize the file in the pda section. I clicked start and odin failed (I didn't know you had to be in recovery mode to flash the kernel it wasn't listed in the instructions I had). I rebooted the phone and got the phone---!---computer screen with this message:
Firmware update failed ! Try going into Recovery mode.
Hope this helps

Does your computer recognize your phone as anything while you're in the phone!pc state? You could try Adam's Once-Click Unbrick.

It sure does, odin recognizes it and the sound comes on when the phone boots
EDIT: It says I need to put it in download mode which is the problem I'm having
Did you try the OCUB I posted? It's supposed to work at that screen. Yes, it does run on Windows lol.

Even though the phone boots - a jig I've found is a GUARANTEED way to get into download mode. A jig is a VERY useful tool and only costs like $8. If you plan on flashing your phone again in the future - it's certainly NOT a waste to buy one.
Hi,
I bought galaxy ace a week ago... updated via the latest gingerbread 2.3.6. (official way). After few days of testing the phone I found out that it is quite slow therefore I decided to root it... there is the problem, I cannot enter to recovery menu (home + power), even to download menu (home + vol down + power), everytime I hold the above mentioned combination I got soft reset of the phone... no menu, no nothing. I could not find anything on the web.. Could you help me how to enter to recovery menu OR how to root to CM7.2. a CWM without entering to recovery menu.
I believe the recovery menu has been blocked with new gingerbread 2.3.6.
Thank you.
I don't think so (about the blocked recovery) ..u go on trying dude ..recovery mode is a bit tougher to get in stock rom ..u should get it on the 10th attempt ( at least) I believe ..btw there are rooting guides in this forum ...check them out
Proud to own an ANDROID
Prouder to be a part of XDA
does it mean that i should hold power + home for 10 soft restarts?
I think so here's a tip press the home button first ..keep it pressed and then press the power button UNTILL THE SCREEN COMES ON...recovery mode is tougher to get in stock rom(well at least for me )..in cm7 its nothing ..
Proud to own an ANDROID

I tried to soft restart 10 times no luck... even with your tip...can anyone else help me please?
only odin can help you as if you are not able to get into any kind of recovery and want cwm then odin is the only path for you .. do backup contacts,sms if you want
all other things will be lost..
and if you don't want to loose things then choose to skip rooting and love what you have now
and 2.3.6 haven't blocked recovery btw as i am using it
I cant use ODIN as I cannot access to download menu (vol down + home + power). Anyone else who can me advice?
turn your phone off!
Now without pressing the power button!
Hold the center button and plug your charger!
Still does not work, any other solution?

HE CANNOT ENTER RECOVERY MODE!
If you bought that way you should take it back show problem and let service take care of that!
Say that you were trying to do a factory reset when you found out that you coudn´t enter recovery mode!
I'm on stock ROM, just flashed this morning using ODIN. Even root will go then. To go into recovery press the home+power button till the phone turns on, leave the power button not the home button. You should land up in recovery. If that doesn't work then try using ADB. Go to adb with your phone normally on:
adb reboot recovery
but try flash recovery again
to enter fastboot:
adb reboot bootloader
And if You've worked with ODIN then download a new bootloader and flash it using ODIN.I think (not sure) the problem is with secondary bootloader (SBL).Put the phone into download mode using ADB:
adb reboot download
This will put your phone in download mode. Check Odin now, and if ID:COM has turned yellow, you’re good to gnce you’re satisfied, press the Start button on Odin. The flash will take couple of seconds, after which your phone will reboot automatically.
That’s it. This should fix your download and recovery mode 3-button combo issue. You can now apply any mods with the normal procedure.

You had mentioned updating to 2.3.6 in the official way? Kies or Service center? If Kies then did you get the download mode when it was updating? And No, Recovery is not blocked on 2.3.6

u can try that
I had the same problem, but luckily I found this thread.
I can enter to recovery ONLY with adb reboot recovery command, pressing home button does nothing.
my problem is that i used to have Cm9 (beta 8) but i wanted to return to my operator stock ROM so i flash it with Odin, One package, but now it keeps rebootng i can see samsung logo and then Telcel (splash screen o boot animation) it keeps doing it again and again i cant go to Download Mode via Home-vol down-power because my volumen key doesn't work (i brake it), i just need to know what to do? can i go to download mode via ADB or what help me
When phone switched off:
Home Button + Power - open recovery
Wipe Data and Cache, reboot
You could try Recovery mode and wipe.

Your might want to try PWR + HOME to get into Recovery Mode screen, then Wipe Data (Factory Reset), when done remove battery, wait 10 sec., then insert battery and boot normally... has worked for me on the orphaned S5830D SGAce w/ DTLKI4 f/w. BUT, be aware, all user settings and installed apps are vaporized !!! Stuff on /SDCARD is safe.

One package? Aren't you supposed to use the one with the 5 different files and not just one? To make a completely clean stock rom install, I mean. If that's what you want.
I think he(or she) want a stock rom only. You need to do a full wipe after flash with odin. Maybe touch recovery helps you, but i cant find any . You can go to download mode by "adb reboot download" , i think it cant success without wipe.
Or maybe try to flash a rom with 5 files as SuperAce609 said.
No. You can't flash 2.3.6 directly.
You need to flash 2.3.3 first , then 2.3.4 and last 2.3.6 using Odin.

lol. u guys didnt even try to understand what his problem in the first place. atleast read the first post properly before giving suggestions.
the poor guy had his vol up and down button broke, and u suggest him to wipe data in recovery.
thing is his vol up and downn button doesnt work! so how can he navigate in recovery? lol
btw op, u said that u flashed onepackagee file via odin. so how did u manage to go into download mode in the first place when your vol down button is busted?
if u managed to go into download mode again, this time flash the full package instead.

Hi,
How could i flash Custom ROM with Odin..
Because
1. I am not able to go into recovery mode by holding Volume up+Volume Down+Power Buttons
2. I could not reboot into recovery mode using adb commands (stuck at at&t screen)
3. I could not reboot into recovery by flashing any kernel with CWM.. obviously i have to use volume up+Volume Down+Power Buttons again :-(
I am able to flash stock ROM through ODIN 1 click downloader (currently on I897UCKI2)..and its the only way i could flash a ROM now..
So is there a way to install custom rom through ODIN ?
Please help...
If you can get into download mode (power off, hold V+/V-, insert USB), you can try flashing a ROM via Heimdall. Apex 12.5 has a package you can flash from Heimdall.
You can also try Mosaic 9, as that has an Odin-based installer package.

Hey,
I'm using samsung galaxy star s5282. I rooted this phone 2 days ago. Everything went good until today when i was i my class it suddenly switched off. When i rebooted it, it hang on the samsung logo.
I tried to boot into cwm recovery mode by pressing v+, home, power but it boots into default system recovery mode.
I again flashed cwm recovery many times using odin but it dosent work. Odin shows pass but when i reboot my phone in cwm recovery mode my phone enters in default system recovery mode.
What should i do please please please help.....
Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install.
applies to all recoveries

Surenda 1863,
I had exactly the same problem and it took me almost one week of fiiddling and searching the Web to solve it.
The solution was in front me since day ONE : install ODIN on the PC !
In my case, I had I had accidentally wiped out the stock ROM and the tablet was hopelessly frozen on the download mode. I couldn't turn it off to boot it back with any of the usual buttons ( Volume , Home, Power)
I made the wrong assumption that since my PC didn't see the tablet, it couldn't connect to Odin either . I was wrong!
Here is what you have to do:
1. Install Odin on your PC. Connect the tablet to it. You will see that Odin sees the tablet because there will be a caption saying "added" on the top left.
2. Press the AP tab button at the right to go to the location where your Stock ROM is. The stock ROM file will have an MD5 ending.
3 Once the file is loaded (next to the AP button) just press Start. You will see the DOWNLOAD bar gradually filling up on the tablet and at the top left of ODIN.
4. When the operation is terminated, you will see a caption " PASSED" at the top left of he Odin screen and the tablet will automatically boot up to the HOME screen.
As simple as this! I didn't even have to worry about flashing the TWRP ( or CWR) recovery system, probably because the OS ROM was already wiped out. May be your case is different. I only know that in my case it worked like a charm.
